I don't know, I feel like had the Avengers been possessed by the Phoenix Force, Cyclops and the X-Men still would have been portrayed as the villains, at least in the eyes of the characters in the Marvel Universe.

From what I understand with the Scott and Maddy thing was that Scott did go back to try and find Madelyne and Nathan after the Jean thing but they disappeared before he could get to them.

Yeah. The Simonsons did their damndest to get Cyclops out of the douchebag territory that Bob Layton had put him in. He went back to Alaska to find his wife and son and beg their forgiveness but never found her. In fact, I think he was lead to believe she was dead. And then he sort of went crazy for an issue or two. He eventually got his son back after Madelyne went even MORE crazy.

But then his kid got the techno-organic virus and Scott did the only sensible thing. He sent his only son into the future with some chick he had just met figuring that only in the future would his boy find a cure. Instead, it turns out his son pulled through without any help but not before the Askani made their very own evil clone. That left little Nathan Christopher in the future for no good reason.

But that's ok because Scott and Jean were both sent into the future in... I guess... cloned bodies so they could properly raise his kid the rest of the way. Only they didn't let the kid know who they really were or what the hell was really going on. Probably because it was mostly insane.

No thanks necessary. It crystallized exactly what I've felt for the last few years. While there are those who say that a comic costs what it costs, the vehicle analogy cemented the fallacy in that statement. If you've been buying AoU up through the current issue, I'd consider you either wealthy or a sucker. I ditched after I was idiotically convinced that the first issue was going to be awesome. Not only wasn't it that, it was $3.99 done in about 3-5 minutes...and outside of the Spider-Man rescue, absolutely nothing happened.

That's Bendis. It's why I dropped everything I was reading by him a long time ago.
